    According to WikiPedia:

    Urban legend had a motorcycle being smuggled upstairs into the studio; doubtful it actually occurred.

    "in an interview four decades later, Shangri-Las lead singer Mary Weiss said the motorcycle sound was taken from an effects record..."

    A member of the Zombies, touring with them at the time, remembers revving up a bike backstage for the song.

    From "other sources:"

    However, a motorcycle WAS used, backstage, when on tour. I believe it was a Triumph, although it might have been a Norton (or BSA.) British twin, anyway.
